Some thoughts as you second guess your retirement (or your spouse does for you).

• The late Richard Russell, in remembering the Great Depression: The most valuable asset you have is a J-O-B. (You know RR from Rich Man, Poor Man, an all-time favorite of mine.) Russell knew the pain when his father was jobless; losing confidence and self-worth; remembering a job does a lot more than just provide money.
• Our loudmouth governors will not be able to keep Americans indoors forever: Don’t Tread on Me.
• Make it your job to get out of debt.
• The stock market lost money from 1965-1981. It doesn’t always come back on our schedule.
  
• Shame on those driving Range Rovers away from food banks.
• When $2 trillion, that’s with a “T,” enters the system, remember, nothing is free.
• Ron Paul is right: End the Fed. Read it.
• Rand Paul’s experience with coronavirus was mild.
• Bill Sardi at Lewrockwell.com: “We have record of physicians and hospitals being paid to mis-code their diagnostic and billing numbers to indicate ‘COVID-19’ instead of plain pneumonia because hospitals are reimbursed $39,000 instead of just $13,000 for COVID-19!  There is a financial incentive to list COVID-19 on death certificates.” He points out that hospitals are compensated more when a patient dies from coronavirus even though it could have been from a range of other illnesses. He is more than a little skeptical about this virus. He calls it: CoroNOvirus.
• Ayn Rand’s individualism is not about government help.
• Our form of capitalism has government pushing aside the individual and picking winners.
• Bonds protect your ass-ets when stocks crater, and yes, losing less is still a win in my book.
  
• How much more water are we using by washing our hands?
• What if something happens to your water supply? Are you prepared?
• How will you boil water if you have no oil or natural gas? Do you have firewood?
• How will you do this from a high rise apartment?
• Live Free or Die: My favored firearms manufacturer, Sig Sauer, brought 20,000 masks to health care facilities.
• Did you get outside today?
• Do you take liposomal C?
• Do you have cash?
• Take a walk?
• Call your mom?
• The three most important letters in making money: Y-O-U
